Every other checklist tells you what to do. Ours lets you do it — right here. These tools open as side panels when you reach the relevant task.
Compare speeds, prices, contracts at your new address
Pre-filled PDF, correct mailing address by state
Gas, electric, water — provider lookup + paired tracking
Auto-detects municipal vs private hauler
Free E-Cards via Gmail & Outlook
When you reach the "set up internet" task in your checklist, a side panel shows every internet provider available at your new address. You see speeds, monthly costs, contract terms, and equipment fees side by side. Choose a provider, and the checklist guides you through signup. Already cancelled your old service? The tool tracks both tasks as a pair and prompts you if one is incomplete.
Your name, both addresses, and move date auto-fill from your profile. You add your SSN — which stays in your browser and is never stored or transmitted to our servers. The tool generates a downloadable PDF with a cover page showing the correct IRS mailing address for your state. Print, sign, and mail. The task marks itself complete.
Gas, electric, and water tasks are paired: cancel at old address and set up at new. The checklist tracks both as a linked pair — if you cancel old service but haven't set up new, you'll see an amber prompt reminding you. Provider lookup gives you the direct phone number or website for your specific utility company. Trash service auto-detects whether your new address uses municipal collection or a private hauler.
Filing a USPS change of address only forwards your mail for up to 12 months — it doesn't actually update your address with banks, insurance, the DMV, or anyone else. Here's the complete notification list by urgency.
USPS forwarding redirects physical mail to your new address for up to 12 months. But your bank, insurance company, the DMV, the IRS — they all still have your old address on file. After forwarding expires, critical documents go to your old home. You need to update each organization separately, or use AddressGenie to update 6,000+ at once.
Skip the hassle
AddressGenie updates your address with USPS and 6,000+ organizations in one form — banks, utilities, insurance, subscriptions, and government agencies. One form, $39.95, done in minutes.

Moving across state lines adds tasks that in-state movers don't face. Here's what changes — and what most checklists miss.
Driver's license and vehicle registration — most states require you to update within 30 days of establishing residency. Deadlines, fees, and required documents vary by state. Some states require a smog check or vehicle inspection before registration.
Voter registration — you must register at your new address to vote in local and state elections. Most states offer online registration. Deadlines before elections vary from 15 to 30 days.
Auto and home insurance — rates change by state and zip code. Moving from a low-rate state to a high-rate state can significantly increase premiums. Contact your insurer before the move to avoid coverage gaps.
Healthcare network — if you have employer-sponsored or ACA insurance, verify your doctors and hospitals are in-network at your new location. A move to a new state qualifies as a Special Enrollment Period for marketplace plans.
IRS notification — file Form 8822 to update your address. This ensures tax refunds and correspondence reach your new home. Pre-fill Form 8822 inside our checklist →

Permanent USPS mail forwarding lasts 12 months. Temporary forwarding lasts 185 days (extendable to 12 months). After expiration, undeliverable mail is returned to sender. Important: first-class and priority mail forward, but most magazines and periodicals stop after just 60 days.
USPS forwarding redirects physical mail for up to 12 months but doesn't notify any organization of your new address. Banks, insurance, the DMV, utilities — they all still have your old address on file. You need to update each one separately, or use AddressGenie to update 6,000+ organizations in one form.
Failing to update your address can lead to missed bills and late fees, insurance coverage gaps, lost tax refunds, identity theft from mail at your old address, expired vehicle registration, and inability to vote. Most states legally require DMV updates within 30 days of moving.
